I'm over the fact that we ended up with Mullen....
1) Dooley is a windbag...
That's the word he used.......QUEASY. I'll leave it at that.
Meyer was above Mullen on my list.
Of a bar.Are you a member of the bar or sumthin?
My take from the Dooley article and the search.
1. I think Stricklin only wanted Mullen. I think everything else was a smokescreen.
2. I think Stricklin did not want to be SEEN taking the coach from his school/former employer if he did not have to be SEEN doing this.
3. So Stricklin played around with Kelly. Kelly says he wasn't offered by UF and I wonder if Kelly is not telling the truth when he said he was not offered. Perhaps he was as surprised as the people here when the flight up did not lead to a contract. Also Stricklin was just playing around waiting for the end of the MSU season. Still this allowed UF fans to think Stricklin was swinging for the fences.
4. So Stricklin has pretended to go after someone else. And then the rumor that UTn is going after Mullen is floated, maybe by someone at UTn but maybe by someone at UF.
5. Now it is all set up for Stricklin. He has pretended to try to get someone else. The rumor is out there that UTn wants Mullen, so if Mullen might be leaving Stricklin's school/former employer anyway then Stricklin is clean getting him for UF.
6. Dooley is always taking a kernel of truth and telling the company line. No matter what fans want beat writers need access to do their jobs so they tend everywhere in the country to give the company spin.
So the plane ride up there with our doctors, lawyers, high priests and scribes as all an elaborate ruse?
Oceans 11= Stricklin's 6?
Well, I doubt it. SS got us embarrassed. Thats what I think.
I will choose to believe Stricklin over the Chipster.
I...we know he didnt want to be here.
How do we know this? He said he wasn't offered. Stricklin says he wasn't offered. Stricklin had Mullen at the top of his list.
Because it was never about the money, but control. CK euphemistically refered to it as the student or athlete experience. Same issue that he had In the NFL. My scientific wild ass guess is that’s what the meeting was about. If SS and company got confirmation that Kelly didn’t want to be accountable then it was worth whatever embarrassment we’re feeling in the Peanut Gallery.How do we know this? He said he wasn't offered. Stricklin says he wasn't offered. Stricklin had Mullen at the top of his list.
But took the entourage up North to piss his #1 off?Stricklin had Mullen at the top of his list.
